OK, so I know you mentioned something about the announcements prior to take off.
But what is the first announcement that we might hear during take-off?
Alright, so usually about five to six minutes, sometimes ten minutes,
depending on what the weather is like,
the first announcement you'll hear is:
Alright, ladies and gentlemen, we have a few safety announcements before our flight.
If you look up, you'll see that the fasten seatbelts sign is still illuminated.
Federal aviation regulations require that all passengers remain seated
anytime that this seatbelt sign is on.
There are lavatories.
For the forward lavatory,
only one passenger may be waiting for that lavatory at any time.
There are changing tables as well.
We'll be offering food and beverages on this flight as well.
If it's like a dinner time type of meal,
these are your options, so it could be chicken, pasta, beef,
those are typical.
We'll provide a variety of beer, liquor, wine, juices, sodas,
and other menu items.
You can expect an interval snack period.
If it's breakfast, it's kind of a smaller menu item, I would say.
Could you please, take your seats and fasten your seatbelts.
We have three levels of turbulence.
Mild, medium and extreme.
Anytime that we hit turbulence,
you will see the seatbelt sign illuminate.
Ladies and gentlemen, the captain has turned on the fasten seatbelt sign.
If you are up and about through the cabin,
we do ask that you please return to your seat as safely and as swiftly as possible.
If you have little ones with you,
please make sure that they are buckled in their seat as well.
Flight attendants, please be seated.
It's really important that people, both passengers and flight attendants,
do respect that seatbelt sign
and respect the captain's orders.
How about when we're landing?
Is there anything that a passenger should know?
Are there any other announcements that we might hear from the captain or from the crew?
Absolutely!
We have two different announcements,
one is called "Our initial descent",
and the latter is called "Our final descent".
Ladies and gentlemen, the captain has turned on the fasten seatbelt sign,
indicating our initial descent into Orlando.
Please, assist us in getting the cabin ready for its next flight
by checking around your seat your backseat pocket etc.
If you have a laptop, we have a few minutes remaining
before you have to stow that laptop away.
Please, make sure that you are buckled
and that your little ones are also fastened in their seatbelts.
And then, for the final descent, we do require that all passengers
put their tray tables up, seatbelts on,
luggage or any bags completely underneath the seat in front.
We do ask that all passengers keep any pets in their carriage case,
underneath the seat in front.
If it's an emotional support animal,
they can remain in the lap if it's safe and comfortable
for both the passenger and for the animal.
What is the most important thing
for you, as a flight attendant, that a passenger should know?
Safety! Safety, without a question.
It is always, always safety.
Safety for themselves, safety for us,
safety for the entire cabin.
Because a flight attendant's purpose
is the safety of the flight.
